Hi, I’m Raphaël Kahan from the channel. Happy you’re asking about getting started!

Summary

There is no single “must have” kit, but for beginners loves:

  1. A simple mirrorless or DSLR body (whatever you can afford used)
  2. One fast prime lens (like a 35mm or 50mm, f/1.8)
  3. A sturdy but cheap tripod
  4. One basic LED light or softbox
  5. Good-enough audio: a small on-camera or lav mic

What budget are you working with and is this for photo, video, or streaming?
